A beachball has a diameter of 24 cm and weighs about 6N. A-What is the volume of the beachball? Then, use this number to calculate the beachball’s average density in kg m-3. B-What is the volume of water displaced by the beachball if it is in the pool? C- Now, using a rope, you tie the beachball to the bottom of the pool so only half of the ball is submerged. What would the diagram look like?
